Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Like a sore thumb:</bold> Niobium stands out among neighboring transition metals for its catalytic performance in the synthesis of cyclic carbonates. Readily available NbCl₅ is a very efficient catalyst for the preparation of industrially relevant carbonates at ambient temperature, low CO₂ pressure, and low concentrations.
